    Description

      NOTE: This suggestion is for Confluence Server. Using Confluence Cloud? See the corresponding suggestion.

      When Editing UD of type 'Internal with LDAP Authentication' it does not expose the "Enable Nested' field.
      Please enable Support of Nested Groups for this type of UD.

      We are forced to use this type of UD since we are a large institution and embedded crowd is 'greedy'. Our ADS Directory is extremely huge and even though we only use several hundred existing ADS groups for privileges in Confluence they are from across the spectrum of OU's, therefore UD Group LDAP filter configuration cannot limit embedded crowd from attempting to copy/sync a huge portion of the entire AD directory (even though most AD users and groups have nothing to do with Confluence software anyway).

      Thanks,
      Craig
